Black-Tailed Prairie Dog
(Cynomys ludovicianus)
Texas & Plains States, USA – "Doggie," a chance to see this native species before they're gone. Learn why this keystone species is critical to the balance of our prairie ecosystem and how habitat-loss and extermination have put this species at risk. She doesn't like to be touched by strangers, so she's show-and-tell only, no touch allowed. Great for school-age audiences, ages 6 years and up.
